If ever I get into reality television it is because my parents go "oh you MUST sit down and watch some of this with us" and then I am trapped forever because they do in fact have pretty similar tastes to my own.
Their latest fondness is for The Masked Singer, a colourful musical game in which there are no real stakes for winning and losing, and no bitchy commentary - everyone is just having a fun time listening to funky covers and trying to match the voice with a name. They're rolled with the current need for masks in a practical sense too: the background performers are masked, and instead of a live audience the crew get to unleash their inner furries. It's strangely endearing.
The highlights for this season have to be the unmistakable Kate Miller-Heidke putting a sinister twist on her usual pop-opera style as the Queen.
And also Bushranger, who pours a pleasant voice out from behind the delightful absurdity of dressing like a bedazzled Ned Kelly. (Popular verdict suggests either Bonnie Anderson or Jess Mauboy lies underneath.)
